Natural hazards

Under normal weather conditions, March and August are the months in which forest fires are most likely to occur. A forest fire can be natural in origin (e.g. lightning during a thunderstorm) or of human origin (e.g. arson, poorly controlled barbecue, throwing cigarette butts on the ground). Although it is difficult to influence the natural causes, we can still adopt behaviour which makes it possible to reduce the risk of forest fires.
